    From Autopilot to Aliveness: The Practice of Really Being Here

    Send us a text A giant teddy bear of a golden doodle and a 4 a.m. cuddle sparked a conversation about what it really means to live with presence. We follow that thread from a messy, sweet living room moment into the deeper work of choosing curiosity and intimacy with ourselves—on the mat, in your breath, and in the small decisions that shape your relationships. Along the way, we explore how the brain leans on prediction, why presence takes energy, and how autopilot can dull your connection unless you consciously return to the here and now. You’ll hear a grounded, practical take on mindfulness as lived peace, not a concept. We talk about noticing personal “tells” like hovering tears, quick irritability, or the urge to numb—signals that it’s time to tune in.  From there, we offer gentle practices you can try today: hand-to-heart breathing, a page of honest journaling, restorative shapes that let the floor hold you, and simple chanting to reorient the nervous system. Fear is welcomed as part of your sacred range; when acknowledged, it gives information instead of running the show. We also open a window into The Nourished Woman method and why somatic yoga therapy supports high-functioning, heart-led women who carry so much for others. Intimacy with self expands intimacy with partners, kids, friends, and even the land you live on.  By the end, you’ll feel invited to see with fresh eyes, soften the edges of anxiety, and choose a kinder pace that lets love move through your day. If this lands, follow the show, share it with a friend. 💜

    Midlife, Menopause & Coming Home to Your Body with Bonnie Papajohn

    Send us a text What if midlife wasn’t the beginning of decline, but the start of your most powerful, connected chapter yet? In this episode, I sit down with menopause and midlife health coach Bonnie Papajohn to talk honestly about what’s really happening in your body—and how to work with it, not against it. We cover the full picture of perimenopause and menopause: hormonal shifts, brain fog, fatigue, changing metabolism, and the stress that makes it all harder.  Bonnie shares her own midlife reset—surgical menopause, separation, burnout—and how she rebuilt her energy and confidence through gentle, sustainable changes: mindful eating, simple meals, and somatic practices that calm the nervous system fast. We dig into why the diets and workouts that worked at 35 don’t always serve at 50, how to reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar, and build steadier energy without extremes. If you’re craving clearer thinking, deeper rest, and a kinder relationship with your changing body, this episode will remind you that midlife isn’t the end—it’s a recalibration. About Bonnie Bonnie Papajohn is the founder of Dahlia Health & Nutrition Coaching and a certified health, nutrition, and menopause specialist with over 15 years in the wellness industry.

    This Isn’t About a New You — It’s About Coming Home to You

    Send us a text If your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open right now — same. This episode is about the invisible weight of December, the pressure to start fresh, and why stillness can feel downright uncomfortable when you’ve been running on fumes. I share honestly about my own resistance to slowing down — how I found myself avoiding meditation, what fight, flight, freeze, and fawn actually look like in real life, and the moment I realized even joyful things can overload the senses. Together, we’ll talk about how to gently work with your nervous system instead of pushing through it, so you can come back to calm, clarity, and choice. We’ll explore what happens when you stop trying to “fix” yourself and start listening again — how your breath deepens, your body softens, and your mind finally quiets down.  You’ll learn simple, body-first ways to reset that don’t require an hour-long routine — things like feeling your feet on the floor, softening your jaw, or following one slow exhale at a time. Because what if you didn’t need a “new you” this year? What if you just needed a moment to remember yourself? I’m also inviting you to join me for a free New Year’s Day Tone-Setting Ceremony on Zoom— gentle yoga, meditation, and reflection to start 2026 grounded, calm, and clear.  Free to all, meets 9-9:45am EST with replay.

    From Mold Illness to Healing: Taking Ownership of Your Health with Katie Poterala

    Send us a text If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors, exhausted from trying “all the things,” or wondered why your body still feels off even though your labs look “normal,” this episode is for you. I’m sitting down with Katie Poterala, a bespoke jeweler turned Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, to unpack her journey through mold illness, medical gaslighting, and the long road back to alignment. Katie’s story is raw, honest, and incredibly relatable — because it mirrors what so many women experience when their intuition tells them something’s wrong, but the system doesn’t listen. We talk about how hidden mold exposure can silently impact your energy, thyroid, and mood — and what it actually takes to heal. From functional testing and safer detox protocols to the role of nervous system regulation, yoga, and somatic practices in recovery, Katie shares how she learned to rebuild trust with her body and design a life that finally feels good again. Whether you’re navigating mystery symptoms, burnout, or simply craving a deeper connection with your health, this episode will remind you that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about learning how to listen, slow down, and take ownership of your body’s wisdom. About Katie Poterala Katie is a bespoke jeweler turned Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner whose journey into wellness began during a season of deep personal healing. After becoming unexpectedly ill while caring for a new baby and running a business, she struggled to find clear answers through conventional medicine. That experience led her to functional medicine, where she learned to understand her body and eventually support other women in uncovering the root causes of their symptoms. At heart, Katie’s work has always been about helping women feel like themselves again and reclaim their inner sparkle.  Learn more about Katie on her website or Instagram.  About Keri Marino Keri is the founder of The Nourished Woman and a Somatic Yoga Therapist who supports women in feeling more alive, grounded, and at home in their bodies.

    Create an At Home Yoga Practice that Actually Sticks

    Send us a text If you’ve ever fallen into the “on-again, off-again” yoga cycle — promising yourself you’ll get back into it, then life gets loud again or longed to have yoga be a bigger part of your life yet struggled with how — this conversation is for you. We talk about what really keeps you from staying consistent with your yoga practice (and it’s not laziness). It’s nervous system overload, the invisible weight of life, motherhood and partnership, and the perfectionism that says if I can’t do it all, I won’t do anything. I’ll show you how to build an at-home yoga practice that actually sticks — one rooted in desire, not discipline. From five mindful breaths before a meeting to a cat-cow before bed, we explore how micro-rituals can regulate your nervous system, clear your mind, and reconnect you with the woman you want to be. You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s cues — when it’s asking for energy, when it’s craving stillness — and how to make yoga fit your real life instead of forcing yourself to fit yoga. We’ll talk about releasing guilt, honoring your cycles, and creating space for peace that lasts long after you roll up the mat. Because the truth is: yoga was never meant to be something you check off a list. It’s a way of remembering who you are — even on the days that don’t go to plan. If you love the sound of short daily somatic yoga rituals that help you become a more radiant woman, with bottomless pleasure and aliveness.  Get instant access to 150+ nervous system practices made for women on everyday topics like: digestive health, back care, period relief, core strength and emotional well-being.  Try a 7 day free trial of The Nourished Woman Sanctuary here.

    How to Break Free from Limiting Beliefs and Let Good Things In

    Send us a text Most of us aren’t stuck because we don’t want change — we’re stuck because our bodies are still wired for what feels familiar. In this episode, I share what it really takes to grow when your nervous system keeps choosing the past. You’ll learn how to make peace with the parts of you that resist, move through fear without shutting down, and start letting yourself receive more love, ease, and joy than you ever thought possible. We’ll talk about why growth can feel uncomfortable (and why that’s actually a good sign), how to spot limiting beliefs as they show up in your relationships and daily life, and the small somatic shifts that help you feel safe expanding into the woman you’re becoming. This one’s for the yoga-loving, self-aware woman who’s ready to stop doubting herself and start trusting the calm, confident version of her that’s been waiting to lead.

    How Better Breathing Can Transform Your Sleep, Mood, And Relationships with Perrin White

    Send us a text What if the way you breathe is quietly shaping your energy, sleep, and emotional resilience? In this conversation with Perrin White — speech-language pathologist, myofunctional therapist, and breath coach — we explore the power of functional breathing in the most down-to-earth, human way. From tongue posture and nasal breathing to how your ribs move when you inhale, Perrin shares how small, anatomy-based shifts can completely change how you feel in your body. You’ll learn how to tell if your tongue is truly resting on the roof of your mouth, why nasal breathing is key for oxygen and nitric oxide, and how to bring ease back into your breath (and your nervous system). We also go deeper — into grief, child loss, thriving as a single woman and becoming. Perrin opens up about how breath helped her move through loss and reconnect to life, and we talk about what it means to rebuild yourself one ritual at a time. You’ll hear us challenge the loud, forceful breath cues often taught in yoga and explore gentler, low-and-slow patterns that create calm from the inside out. This is a grounded, heartfelt reset for anyone craving more energy, better sleep, and a steadier sense of peace. About Perrin White  Perrin White is a speech pathologist, myologist, yoga teacher, and breath coach who specializes in airway health and nervous system regulation.
